History

McNears Beach developed a fishing industry in the 1870s. The McNear post office operated from 1897 to 1910. The name comes from the McNear Family, former owners of the land. The McNear Brothers, E.B. and J.A., moved to the beach site about 1870 and built two houses (which have since been demolished), a stable, a warehouse, and a general store.
